This was another class assignment to reproduce mayonnaise paintings of pairs in a monochrome color. You could choose between black or burnt umber. I kind of liked the greys so I chose black.

I am new to acrylic painting so using mediums is very difficult for me coming from an oils world. How are pellet consists of black and white acrylic colours I have a medium and a light or medium for extending the colours. We also got to try out and extender which made all the difference in the world for having a nice black background.

I got 100% on this and I’m pretty happy with it I don’t really have any skills with using a brush so I just worked out at meticulously until I got it to look what I thought the original painting looked like.

Egg, graphite pencil on Canson drawing paperMy first assignment is to draw an egg from life. Very different and challenging than from a photo! I got an 8/10 for this and that’s fine with me! My shadow wasn’t quite dark enough.

You start with an H pencil, then 2B then finally a 6B. No fingers or paper stubs allowed!
